Erectile dysfunction (ED) is defined as difficulty in getting or maintaining a penis erection necessary for satisfactory sexual intercourse. The objective of this research is to search for articles that address physical therapy as a treatment for erectile dysfunction in which scientific data will be analyzed in order to know the most effective physiotherapy treatments for erectile dysfunction. A scientific search was carried out based on different platforms such as: PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Scielo and Google Scholar, applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting 7 analyzed articles. Different physiotherapeutic treatments are used based on the use of shock waves, pelvic floor training, platelet-rich plasma, electrical stimulation and drugs, getting significant results for the treatment of ED. Physiotherapy can be considered an effective and noninvasive treatment for erectile dysfunction. However, the need for further research and interdisciplinary collaboration is emphasized to integrate this therapeutic treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: overactive bladder is a syndrome characterized by urinary urgency, increased voiding frequency, and nocturia, with or without urinary incontinence, and iwith absence of urinary tract infection or other obvious disease. It has great economic and social repercussions with a negative impact on the patient's quality of life. The first-line treatment is behavioral modifications and bladder reeducation. A second line is the use of antimuscarinics. Posterior tibial neuromodulation is an important treatment option in patients who are resistant to previous treatments. The objective of this study is to analyze in patients with overactive bladder syndrome, the changes produced in nocturia, urinary incontinence and quality of life, with posterior tibial neuromodulation alone and combined with antimuscarinics, based on validated questionnaires and pad test that quantifies urinary loses in 24 hours. Material and method: quasi-experimental study in which patients referred to the Pelvic Floor Unit of the Rehabilitation Service of the Hospital Universitario de Toledo participated. Fifty-four patients completed the study.All patients received 1 session per week for 12 weeks of percutaneous tibialis posterior neuromodulation. Twenty-two patients were taking antimuscarinics simultaneously. Results: 84.8 % improved nocturia, 37 % the pad test, 42.6 % the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire (ICIQ) and in terms of Bladder Control Self-assessment Questionnaire (CACV): 75.9 % improved symptoms and 64.8 % discomfort. In our study, taking antimuscarinics did not provide significant results, although we observed that in other studies it did have a positive effect. Conclusions: percutaneous posterior tibialneuromodulationin patients with overactive bladder is effective by itself. Limitations: to assess the need to have a control group and follow-up and maintenance therapy over time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Obturator hernias are those in which the hernia sac and its contents are introduced into the obturator orifice and protrude through the canal of the same name. They are the most frequent hernias of those that affect the pelvic floor, but overall, they are a very rare variety since they account for less than 1 % of all hernias of the abdominal wall. Clinically, they usually present as a picture of mechanical intestinal obstruction, although they are a very infrequent cause of it (0.2-1.6 % of cases). Material and methods: Review of 10 cases of obturator hernia operated in our Service between november 2010 and march 2021. Results: All of our patients were women with a mean age of 85.2 years (range, 77-92). In all cases, the presentation was a small bowel occlusion. Two patients (20 %) had a history of significant weight loss. Computerized Tomography was performed in all of our patients, which was diagnostic of incarcerated obturator hernia in 80 % of the cases. In the remaining 20 % the diagnosis was femoral hernia. The laterality of the hernia was distributed 50 % on the right and left. All of the cases were operated on urgently through an infraumbilical median laparotomy. In 4 patients (40 %) an initial intestinal resection was necessary and, in another case, it was performed after 48 h. of the first laparotomy. Hernia repair was performed by simple suture in 8 cases (80 %) and with the placement of a mesh plug in two (20 %). The average hospital stay was 6.5 days (range, 3-12). Practically all of our cases presented postoperative morbidity of greater or lesser severity associated with pre-existing pathology. Mortality was 40 %. Conclusion: Obturator hernia is an infrequent cause of intestinal occlusion, but it must be suspected as a cause of it, especially when it occurs in elderly female patients. The diagnostic and therefore therapeutic delay make these hernias present a high morbidity and mortality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Hypopressive Abdominal Gymnastics (HAG) is based on exercises that activate the pelvic floor (PF) muscles and the abdominal girdle. This muscle recruitment favors the muscle tone of the PF and prevents the appearance of dysfunctions with negative impacts on the physical and psychosocial spheres of women. However, these dysfunctions are caused by more than one factor, with different etiologies and consequences, which means that women suffering from any of the PF disorders require optimal treatment for each of these dysfunctions. Objective: to know the current evidence on the efficacy of HAG in the treatment of PF dysfunctions in women. Material and method: a bibliographic review of randomized clinical trials (RCT) has been carried out, in 9 databases: PubMed, PEDRO, Scopus, Web Of Science, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Dialnet, Cuiden and Clinical Trials, fulfilling the following criteria of inclusion: RCTs, treatment with HAG and studies published in English, French, Portuguese or Spanish. The methodological quality was analyzed with the PEDRO scale. Results: six RCTs were included, the results of which indicate that HAG manages to improve the affected muscle function of PF in women. Improvements are observed in resistance, maximum voluntary contraction and decrease in the number of leaks in case of urinary incontinence. Conclusions: the HAG study in the 6 RCTs of this review shows that this gymnastics is effective in PF dysfunctions, especially in prolapses and urinary incontinence in women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: urinary incontinence is among the most common postoperative complications of radical prostatectomy. Objective: to analyze the effect of a postoperative pelvic floor Physiotherapy program on the degree of urinary incontinence and to study how age, the use of electrostimulation and the waiting time until the completion of the treatment influence. Material and method: sixty patients were classified according to the degree of severity of incontinence in: mild, moderate and severe; each group was divided into 2 groups (G1 and G2) that performed 2 treatment sessions / week. G1 performed home Kegel exercises + biofeedback and electrostimulation was also added to G2. The degree of urinary incontinence was measured using the 24-hour pad test before and after treatment. Results: 83.3 % of patients improved their urinary incontinence. Significant differences were found in the severe group between pre-post for G1 (215.13 ± 76.47 to 144.33 ± 84.93; p < 0,01) and for G2 (255.00 ± 143.26 to 169.88 ± 42.07; p = 0,01). In the mild group, no significant differences were found (p > 0.14). Nor were significant differences found at the end of treatment between G1 and G2. Regarding the waiting time for rehabilitation between those who improved and those who did not improve (20.06 ± 17.13 months vs 36.10 ± 26.99 months; p = 0.03). Conclusions: an early pelvic floor physiotherapy program reduces urinary incontinence and its degree of severity, improving the quality of life of patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: pelvic floor dysfunctions affect approximately 10% of women between 20 and 39 years old, giving rise to serious problems of urinary incontinence, chronic pain, sexual dysfunctions, prolapses, decrease of self-esteem and quality of life, etc. As for its treatment, it is mainly base on the strengthening of the musculature of this area. Riding is the practice of riding a horse. It can produce effects on posture, joints, balance, etc., and may interfere with the pelvic floor musculature. Objective: to compare the effects of horse riding on the pelvic floor in women who practice horse riding regularly and in women who do not practice horse riding. Material and method: preliminary observational study. The sample consisted of 21 subjects (12 women who do not ride horses and 9 women who ride horses) who met the following inclusion criteria: woman, healthy, between 30-55 years old. To assess the conditions of the pelvic floor the following questionnaires validated in their Spanish version were used: the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI-20), the Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ-7) and the Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis (QUID). Results: Statistically significant results on the influence of riding on the pelvic floor condition were not found in any of the three questionnaires. (PFDI-20: p = 0.55; PFIQ-7: p = 0.97; and QUID: p = 0.34). Conclusion: there is no evidence about the effects of horse riding on the pelvic floor musculature condition. The results should be taken with caution, due to the sample size. Future studies with larger samples sizes are necessary. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: non-specific lumbopelvic pain is related to intra-abdominal pressure maintenance. Many studies have related the loss of intra-abdominal pressure to pelvic floor muscles low muscle tone. Objective: to learn the evidence available between pelvic floor strengthening and non-specific lumbopelvic pain. Material and method: a bibliographic research of the most important physiotherapy databases was carried out. After analysing the results, 4 articles were selected for the meta-analysis. Results: significant differences were founded in the disability of the groups (Oswestry scale) p = 0,01. Conclusions: more research on the introduction of pelvic floor strengthening in non-specific low back and pelvic girdle pain should be carried out, as it would be beneficial for its introduction in exercise programs to reduce disability.

Introduction: the aim of this systematic review is to know the effects of hypopressive abdominal exercises in pelvic floor muscles in woman. Material and method: Medline, Scopus, WOS, Sport Discus, PEDro, CINHAl, Cochrane and ENFISPO were consulted in September and October 2016. Seven studies have been included. These studies analysed the effect of an intervention of hypopressive abdominal exercises, through an assessment of the pelvic floor muscles tone. Two reviewers independently analysed the level of evidence of the studies through the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network. Results: A total of 183 women have been studied. Compared with the control group or with the baseline measurements, significant improvements in pelvic floor muscles tone were obtained, but no greater than performing pelvic floor strengthening exercises. Only 2 out of the 7 analysed articles have a control group, and their methodological quality is low. In addition, none of the cases monitor the patients in order to check for longterm effects. Conclusions: Scientific evidence about the effect of hypopressive abdominal exercises on the pelvic floor musculature is limited. It has been found hypopressives produce an improvement on the pelvic floor basal tone but no differences were found regarding training through the exercise of the pelvic floor muscles alone.

The current medical terminology is a product of sediment about twenty-five centuries of study of a drug that was scientific and modern. A prospective statistical study was carried out through an anonymous survey of 90 medical specialists in gynecology, urology, Coloproctologia and graduate medical residents in gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Zulia. During the period July 2015 / December 2015. knowledge of anatomical nomenclatures and literature update the terms and structure of the pelvic floor region were considered. Of the 90 physicians surveyed, 44.4% were gynecologists, urologists 16.6%, 5.5% colorectal surgeons, and 33.3% graduate medical residents in gynecology. 72.2% were unaware of an official anatomical updated list by the Federative International Committee of the pelvic floor region. While 27.7% had no knowledge of an official list updated. 72% of physicians who were unaware of the existence of an official list of names of anatomical structures according to the TAI, in the region of the pelvic floor, 47.2%, gynecologists, 13.8%, urologists, 3.3%, colorectal surgeons and 25.1% residents graduate gynecology. 28% of physicians were aware of the existence of an official list (IAT) updated on the anatomy of the pelvic floor, 39.6% had difficulties in the name of the list, of these 10.8% were gynecologists, 7.2% they were urologists, 3.6%, and 18.0% were colorectal surgeons were residents of graduate gynecology. 57.6% of the total, they identified the anatomical structures of the region according to the International Anatomical Terminology, 21.6% were gynecologists, urologists were 7.2%, 7.2% and 21.6% were colorectal surgeons were residents of graduate gynecology. Conclusion: It is necessary then, in undergraduate and graduate, an updated, less detailed anatomy, perhaps without details, that enhancement surgeons of different specialties, who must apply this knowledge on a daily basis, with a fluid anatomical language, effective and universal as to avoid misinterpretations in learning surgical anatomy of the pelvic floor region.

Introduction: Vaginal spheres are also known as Chinese balls, vaginal balls , love balls, geisha balls, Rin no tama, Ben Wa balls. Help strengthen the pelvic floor. These produce a microvibration to move the ball inside, favoring the pelvic floor muscles and increasing blood flow to the pelvic region. There are different areas of weight, torque indications pelvic floor should be tonic. Objective: To review the literature on the effectiveness of vaginal balls and increase knowledge of the professionals on this kind of proprioceptive therapy, which is effective for many women for its easy use. Methods: Literature search in databases: Cochrane, Medline, Gerion, SciELO, Take care, Reproductive Health Library WHO and Academic Google . Results: The vaginal balls are effective in the treatment of urinary and fecal incontinence and pelvic floor training. Urinary incontinence is a common and distressing problem, which may interfere in the work, social and sexual life. There is need for further trials to evaluate the methods and protocols of adequate training for the prevention of incontinence, prolapse and sexual dysfunction. Conclusion: It has been shown that vaginal are better than no active treatment in women with stress urinary incontinence and can be equally effective than pelvic floor muscle training and electrical stimulation .

Pelvic floor disorders are a medical condition that affects 30% of women of all ages, and include a plethora of anatomical and functional pathologies that, though they do not alter patient survival, do affect their well-being to a large extent. Urinary and fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and sexual dysfunction are among these pathologies. The importance of the subject rests on the fact that pelvic floor disorders are more frequent after pregnancy and birth as a result of inherent changes to pregnancy itself and obstetric injuries that are widely known risk factors, which may be associated to severe damage to the pelvic floor. Therefore, possible labor complications that may increase the risk of pelvic floor disorders must be prevented, along with the implementation of certain preventive strategies and safe interventions that reduce damage and possible long-term consequences. Here, we present a literature review about the physiological changes in the pelvic floor during pregnancy, the most frequent dysfunctional disorders, the role of forceps delivery in the appearance of different conditions, and preventive strategies that may be implemented to reduce the effects on the pelvic floor.

INTRODUCTION: Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) is an uncommon pediatric condition (1 case per 27,000 live births), nevertheless, it is the most frequent neoplasia diagnosed at fetal age. Higher access to obstetric ultrasound allows prenatal diagnosis, appropriate planning, study and multidisciplinary treatment of these patients. CASE REPORT: In a routine obstetric evaluation, patient presented a heterogeneous, cystic mass in the sacrococcygeal region. A SCT was suspected, and an elective cesarean delivery was planned to term gestational age. The patient was delivered without complications, with a 15 cm sacrococcygeal mass. Imaging revealed an Altman II SCT, and serum tumor markers were measured. By the ninth day of life, surgery was performed with tumor and coccyx complete resection, pelvic floor reconstruction and primary closure. Postoperatively, the patient made a good recovery without digestive or neurological complications. The biopsy revealed a mature teratoma with minor immature neuroepithelial foci, without atypical cells. DISCUSSION: The prenatal diagnosis in SCT allows appropriate counseling of parents, derivation to specialized centers, and could identify high-risk patients for early interruption of gestation, taking into account a mortality rate as high as 16%. Preoperative classification is important for both treatment and prognosis. There is not enough evidence to recommend chemotherapy for the treatment of mature or immature benign teratomas. In this case, close long-term follow-up will be important to rule out recurrence, and urinary and fecal incontinence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Urinary incontinence is a very common problem affecting 17 to 40% of women over 60 years. Physiotherapy of the pelvic floor is an economic and the effective alternative with low morbility for the treatment urinary incontinence. Method and materials: 23 patients were managed with physiotherapy of the pelvic floor, uncoordinated miction (five), urinary stress incontinence (four), urinary urge incontinence (nine) and mixed urinary incontinence (five). The management was done via biofeedback, inhibitory electrostimulation, enforcement electrostimulation and or both. Results: All the patients refer a subjective improvement, being this 74% for urinary stress incontinence, 67.85% for urinary urge incontinence, 66% for mixed urinary incontinence and 59.8% for uncoordinated miction, all the parameters evaluated in an objective manner presented improvement. Not one patient presented complications such as irritation or vaginal infection. Conclusions: Rehabilitation of the pelvic floor represents a good alternative in the initial management in the patient with urinary incontinence, taking this alternative as the first line in the treatment of urinary stress incontinence, giving that almost all the patients show an important improvement in there sintoms.
